I really studied pics of these 2 a lot, and to me San Diego narrowly wins. I like the balance of old and new buildings here, the various mountain backdrops, and the Coronado Bridge if you get just the right skyline angle pic. I like Honolulu's skyline too, but I wish the buildings there were a little more unique.

Now for a comparison, with another city where IMO Honolulu's skyline reminds me of: Honolulu, or Miami?

Miami due to taller buildings and the style of the buildings is more modern.

Baltimore, MD or Las Vegas, NV?

I'm gonna go with Las Vegas here. Even though the Vegas' skyline is not downtown but on "the Strip," it still far outpaces Baltimore's more traditional skyline. I'd like to see Vegas beef up their downtown and build 6 or 8 skyscrapers there, to add density.

As for Baltimore, they need a couple of skyscrapers above 600 feet.

Memphis, TN or Buffalo, NY?

Easily Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh has a stunningly beautiful skyline with such nice architecture. It's one of my favorite US skylines overall.

Kansas City needs not only more density, but more height. Add another 10 skyscrapers downtown and then it will be in good shape.

Minneapolis, MN or Portland, OR?

Pittsburgh. Close in size but with taller towers. Cincinnati or Indianapolis?

Minneapolis or Portland got skipped, so I'll answer that one. I'll pick Minneapolis, it looks slightly more dense.

As for the most recent one, I'll pick Cincinnati. It has more of a classic look, and a blend of old and new buildings I like. And the Roebling Bridge, puts it enough over the top. For Indianapolis, I do like the monument circle area by the Soldiers and Sailors Monument.

Toronto, ON, or Atlanta, GA?

Honestly I like Toronto's density but I have to go with Atlanta's character on this one.

Atlanta or Philly?

Atlanta, Very Modern and Pretty Buildings, Could Use more density though, Philly for Density but Atlanta overall


Calgary (which is becoming impressive) or Pittsburgh (tons of natural beauty)

I like Philly's density--it's much better than Atlanta's overall. Atlanta has the longer, impressive skyline, but Atlanta's downtown is sparse compared to Philly's center city.

Hartford, CT or Louisville, KY?
